The Pac-12 was clearly hailing the return of Arizona’s Kaleb Tarczewski, who has missed more than a month with a foot injury. Tarczewski checked in for his first rotation at the 15:33 mark of the first half, and the Pac-12 Networks Twitter account sent out a quick message, with the words “ZEUS RETURNS” and three lightning bolt emojis.
Arizona fans noticed his return, as well.
Tarczewski scored on an inside basket just 39 seconds into checking in, just his 16th field goal of his senior season.
“He came out with an intensity and a fire that we didn’t really have,” Gabe York said.
